UNITED STATES of America, Plaintiff-Appellee,
v.
Jimmy Lawrence NANCE, Defendant-Appellant.

No. 96-7779.

United States Court of Appeals, Fourth Circuit.

Submitted Feb. 13, 1997.
Decided Feb. 27, 1997.

Jimmy Lawrence Nance, Appellant Pro Se.

Thomas Linn Eckert, Assistant United States Attorney, Roanoke, VA, for Appellee.

Before WIDENER and HAMILTON, Circuit Judges, and BUTZNER, Senior Circuit Judge.

PER CURIAM:

1

Appellant seeks to appeal the district court's order denying his motion filed under 28 U.S.C. § 2255 (1994), amended by Antiterrorism and Effective Death Penalty Act of 1996, Pub.L. No. 104-132, 110 Stat. 1214. We have reviewed the record and the district court's opinion and find no reversible error. Accordingly, we deny a certificate of appealability and dismiss the appeal on the reasoning of the district court. United States v. Nance, Nos. CR-92-135; CA-96-334-R (W.D.Va. Nov. 7, 1996). We decline to review any issues Appellant seeks to raise for the first time on appeal. We deny Appellant's motion for appointment of counsel. We dispense with oral argument because the facts and legal contentions are adequately presented in the materials before the court and argument would not aid the decisional process.

DISMISSED
